SFA, boatbums told you why: because the Bible says so! It doesn't matter that the Greek word for hate has been used throughout the Bible to mean love less, and not really hate, etc.

Sure.... Let's see how that would work out.

Proverbs 6:16 "There are six things the LORD hates loves less, seven that are detestable less loved to him: 17 haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, 18 a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, 19 a false witness who pours out lies and a person who stirs up conflict in the community."

John 15:18 "If the world hate you loves you less, ye know that it hated me loved me less before it hated you loved you less."

Isaiah 61:8 "For I the LORD love judgment, I hate love less robbery for burnt offering;"

Amos 5:21 "I hate love less, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies."

Zechariah 8:17 "And let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbour; and love no false oath: for all these are things that I hate love less, saith the LORD."

Proverbs 8:13 "The fear of the LORD is to hate love less evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate love less."

Ummm, sure that'll work. /sarc

I gave you examples of verses where hate is not hate, such as with Rachel and Leah, or when Jesus says if anyone doesn't hate his father and mother...where loves less is perfectly appropriate meaning of the same word, and I also reminded you that when God really hates something he destroys it, such as the Flood , or the Pharaoh, or the people of Canaan, and other isral's enemies, or Sodom and Gomorrah, etc.

Makes you wonder why sin is s till around...
